Not A Company for Millennials

Pros

Company is primed for growth and has invested a lot within itself to utilize technology and tools to help it grow

Cons

It carries the same baby boomer mentality, has an upright culture, and is lacking a vibrant feeling. Most people here seem like they just want to clock in and out, hate coming into work, and are looking for the next jump. The company significantly under pays and has no clear path for personal career growth. It has a high turnaround but despite that fails to understand why and blames it on outside factors.

Toxic environment! Think twice.

Pros

Union benefits once you pass a 90 day probationary period, if they don't extend it on you. Plenty of mandatory overtime.

Cons

This is one of the most dysfunctional companies I have ever been employed at. Things are constantly changing, therefore, no one knows the answers to anything so they make things up as they go. Supervisors don't care about you, you're simply a number and they basically own you. The job would not be difficult, however, management and staffing issues (due to all of the uncertainty) make this job extremely stressful and not worth the time. Currently, drivers are working 12-14 hours per day, 6 days per week. There is absolutely no work/life balance. I can count on one hand how many times the trucks are loaded on time ( 2-3 hours of sitting and waiting ) since I started, but you're still expected to complete your route even though you have much less time to complete it in. They will force you to layover on local routes because of this ( I've laid over as close as 15 miles from the warehouse due to running out of hours ). If you value your family and have any sort of social life, look elsewhere. It's not worth it.

Pros

I crossed paths with some incredibly awesome, smart hardworking people here. The job was challenging, so once I began to gain an understanding of what I was doing, it boosted my confidence.

Cons

Lack of transparency. My group was told that we were hired for one position but once we got in, we were split into two different groups unrelated to the position that we initially accepted. The training was incredibly horrible, and the management was oblivious to-or could care less about- the well-being of their employees. Most of them were downright bullies & not fit to hold their title. They would hire temp employees by the truck load and put them on the floor to work without the tools needed to truly succeed. Leaders within the department were very rigid and closed to new ideas that could help improve processes. They did not desire forward thinkers, they preferred "yes men." Division and tension within the local pricing and national contract pricing departments was apparent, with an "us" vs "them" mentality, & employees were always at each others throats. The environment was toxic, and with the amount of employees that came and went, I'm surprised the front door didn't fall off its hinges.
